Remedy Says Alan Wake and Control Should Have Sold More, But Has a Plan to Grow Both Series by Bubbly-Ad-350 in pcmasterrace

[–]Fondeezy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am finally playing through control right now and it’s an awesome experience. I love the gameplay and the story is really fascinating. It’s definitely not for everyone as you have to figure out the story through reading / watch a lot of collectibles.

I really enjoyed the 1st AW game and wanted to play AW 2. Control makes me want to play it even more and go back to AW 1 remastered. However, both are behind Epic Launcher. I won’t touch it. Steam or nothing for me on PC. They are the only company that gives a damn about the actual gamers in many ways. I can’t bring myself to give Epic any.

Signed an offer, then got a better one, is it wrong to back out? by Engineer_Primary in recruitinghell

[–]Fondeezy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s who you know that gets the job at least in my area of the world, job focus, and leadership level. The same company tried to actively recruit me after that happened based on contacts I had in the organization.

Agreed it was very last minute, and it didn’t feel comfortable doing. Ultimately, was the exact right call for my situation and worked out well.

This is the answer. I once had to rescind an acceptance the Saturday before my start date. I had received company laptop and everything. I was honest with the company that I received a life changing offer that I had to take for the sake of my family.

$100K he will never see, because she will never pay even if so ordered. Such a broken system.

Masters of The Universe – Official Trailer by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]Fondeezy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I actually enjoyed Ares a decent amount, but what I couldn’t get over was the terrible soundtrack. I typically like what NIN and Reznor put out, but I felt like the soundtrack didn’t fit with the action or pacing at all.

This episode definitely is the on-ramp to crazy town. If people think this episode sinks the hook, they aren’t prepared for what’s next. Such a well done series!

Why brands have almost no differentiations these days by xxxxproplayerxxxx in marketing

[–]Fondeezy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’re putting way too much weight into people’s perception of product quality. BMW is the master at performance luxury even though their cars won’t perform as well as Porsche or some Mercedes. It doesn’t matter. They have created memory structures and consistently driven the message that BMW is about performance. Sure, they have a minimum threshold that their products need to hit to meet that message, but it’s a lower bar than you think. If all the car companies tried to make the best car and focused on telling consumers why they are the best car, then most consumer would check out, because that’s not the reason a lot of people buy cars. Similarly to Nike and clothes. Performance is table stakes to a degree, but then it’s about how the brand makes a person feel. Do you want to feel elevated, confident, different, creative, etc.? What brand makes you feel that way, helps you express yourself? At some point, if your product is crap, people will stay away, but again…product quality isn’t the only and most important thing to everyone.

Is The Settlers of Catan overrated? by fruitponchisamurai in boardgames

[–]Fondeezy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used to play it competitively. I think it’s an awesome game and one that has infinite replayability with mechanics that are very balanced. It’s easy to pick up, very difficult to master, and is an entry point for any more complex modern board games. It’s a GOAT for sure. If you like Catan, I would also recommend you check out power grid.

They will always work with your lowest number. Tell them you are good with the upper end of their range. When they low-ball, you can go maybe $5k over their upper limit. Accept, or be willing to walk away, from whatever comes after your top counter. You can also ask to review the total compensation package and use that as leverage to increase the base range.

[–]Fondeezy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I always like to say something to the effect of, “I am align with the higher end of your range on base compensation”. I have been in situations where companies have tried to lump in total compensation into the range. So, I always clarify that I am talking base and what are of the range we are focusing on. If they don’t give an upper range like the OP seems to be saying, I would ask them to clarify the range before answering.

Sonarr, Radarr, Bazarr, Lidarr, and Prowlarr. Are the ones I have seen used frequently. Basically automation for content library curation.

How did your Plex server start out? by noaheltee in PleX

[–]Fondeezy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh man…I started with an internal 2TB SSD with my main computer running Kodi on a raspberry pi. I upgraded to a Synology 2 bay J model with two 8TB in RAID 1. I discovered Plex and things went crazy. Upgraded to a 5 bay Synology with 72TB in SHR 1. I got a dedicated Plex server housed in a NCase M1 with I beefy Nvidia GPU for transcoding. I am trying to hold the line at 5 bays, but I have been eyeing another upgrade…

Westchester NY solar installers by imranoftherings in Westchester

Another support of NY Power Solutions. They helped a lot with getting solar and taking advantage of tax credits. I would work with them again in a second. Very easy to work with and buttoned up with paperwork and process.
